Securing Kosher Airline Meals on North American Carriers and Airlines

I often read and leverage posts by travel & deals blogger Dan Eleff, aka DansDeals, who meticulously catalogues his trips and advises his readers accordingly. DansDeals recently noticed an uptick in kosher meals being offered on flights by domestic (U.S.) airlines, although this is mainly available only via Business & First classes.

If you’re seeking to reserve a kosher meal for yourself and your family, please see the list below where it is eligible and how to do it.

Note: for most airlines any special meal request for a flight made with a carrier will not be applied to the segment of a reservation on a different/codeshared carrier. To better ensure that your special meal request is applied to each segment, please call reservations for each airline to request a special meal, and ensure you have it for each leg of your trip.

Here’s a current list of routes where North American carriers offer kosher meals.

Air Canada:

Available in all classes on international flights that depart or arrive outside of North/Central America.

Available in first/business class on all routes.

It is not possible to order special meals for flights offering the Air Canada Bistro service.

For international flights, travelers must order a special meal (including kosher) at least 24 hours before the first flight in your itinerary.

HOW:

At time of online booking:

On the Passengers page, simply select the special meal you require from the MEAL drop-down menu when entering your passenger information
